T.J. Otzelberger flexed his recruiting muscles on Saturday.
The Iowa State head coach earned the Cyclones' first four-star commitment in the Class of 2026.
Christian Wiggins announced he'll be heading to Ames.
Wiggins is a Minnesota native. He's 6-foot-5 and incredibly athletic.
"Wiggins is a lengthy athlete that can shoot the three on a step-back as well as take it inside. He can score from anywhere and will give the Cyclones an offensive threat if his game can translate in the Big 12," according to Cyclone Fanatic.
Wiggins is rated as the No. 52 player in his class by 247Sports.

He chose Iowa State over Creighton, Minnesota, Iowa, Wisconsin and Northern Iowa.
The Cyclones already have one 2026 commitment: Yusef Gray Jr., a three-star point guard.
Iowa State went 13-7 in Big 12 play in 2024-25. The Cyclones made the NCAA Tournament and won their first game before being eliminated in the second round by Ole Miss out of the powerhouse SEC.
If Wiggins sticks with his commitment, he'll have a chance to keep Iowa State's strong recent pedigree alive and well.
